Wildcat Money Debate Divides Democrats Across Chicago
Level headed Democrats voiced discontent with the Chicago platform, opposing the repeal of the 10 percent tax on state bank notes. Henry Watterson denounces the plank as a grave error, arguing for a strong universal currency and opposing private note issues. The Dubuque Telegraph echoes broad party critique, calling the platform evasive and demagogic while warning that repeal could revive a fiat or wheat-based currency crisis.

Democratic platform on state bank notes sparks old money debate
The passage recalls 1860s wildcat money when state bank notes lost value after bank failures. Critics say the platform plank risks reviving unstable currency, arguing state notes with weak security could replace trusted national bank notes. Debate reflects southern adherence to states rights and fear of renewed ten percent taxes.
